Topic: YOU WILL FACE MOCKERS
Memorise:
"And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head today? And he said, Yea, I know it, hold ye your peace."- 2 Kings 2:3
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 2:1-3
Message:
God allows you to go through tests before giving a prize. Unfortunately, some people do well for a while, but when it comes to the crucial tests of life, they fail. May you never fail in the tests of life in Jesus’ Name!
One lesson that is evident in today’s Bible reading is that to get to your higher glory, you may meet with discouragers, mockers and dream killers. Even the Lord Jesus Christ faced mockers in His own family. Most members of His family did not even believe in Him until after His resurrection (John 7:5, Acts 1:14). In John 7:4, they scoffed at
Him saying:
“For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
Some people will not want you to dare that great height because they have tried it several times and failed. They cannot stand you achieving what they could not achieve. Some others will mock you just to discourage you and weaken your faith. Beloved, a lot of the distractions you will encounter from people on your way to the higher glory God has for you will be borne out of envy.
Just look at what Elisha went through with the sons of the prophets on his way to his promotion. Regardless of their motives, every ministry of discouragers and mockers organised against the fulfilment of your destiny shall fail and be completely frustrated this season!
Moreover, it is glaring that there is so much work to be done for you to enter your higher glory. In other words, higher glory is not meant for everyone. It is especially not for the idle or lazy folks. It is not for procrastinators. Higher glory is not for wishful thinkers.
It is for those who are diligent. It is for those who work extra hard, those who can burn the midnight oil. It is for those who can make sacrifices and be focused on the set goal until it is realised. Are you prepared for this? pray that you will be successful in all the assignments you need to perform in order to enter your greater glory in Jesus’ Name!

It is not just enough to work hard, you must also be ready and able to take up more or higher responsibilities
Some people limit themselves in this area.
Are you capable of handling higher assignments? If you are wise, while you are on a particular level, you can open yourself to learn more things particularly those things above your current level. You must be teachable. Are you willing to learn?
Action Point:
Learning should be continuous. After graduating from formal school, you should enrol yourself in the school of self-development.
